Authorities are trying to identify a girl who was found dead more than 40 years ago and say they have recently discovered additional information.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office, along with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, says forensic evidence has been found that could reveal where she originated from.

Authorities believe that “Jane Doe” might have spent time in the northeast corner of the United States, moving west to the Great Lakes, and possibly even farther west to Washington or Oregon.

Officials believe now that “Doe” might have lived or even grown up anywhere north along the line between the United States and Canadian border.

According to authorities, the girl is believed to have been between 14 and 25 years of age when she died. She was discovered in 1971 at a campsite in Cave Junction, Oregon.

The girl, who is called Jane Doe, was found wearing a pink and beige waist length coat, tan long-sleeved turtleneck blouse with a neckline zipper, a pair of Wrangler jeans and square-toed brown leather shoes with gold buckles. A mother of pearl ring with the letters “A” and “L” were scratched into the surface. She was also found with coins that date back to 1970.
